Gang Starr - One of the Best Yet


I listened to Gangstarr's #Newalbum - One of the Best Yet. It was good to hear Guru's( R.I.P.) vocals over Dj Premeir production one more time. But, you can tell that the album copy and paste. It didn't feel like he was rapping to those beats, the melding and synergy you get from being in the studio together were lost. It's not a huge reach, Premeir did an excellent job of matching the beats to his already recorded vocals, but little things that would have been changed are noticeable.   It's probably the best you could get out of it, but it was still a little disappointing. The production was top-notch as expected.  The guest verses were perfect fits.  I liked “ Bad Name”  “ Get Together” “ Bring It Back here”  “ Take Flight”. I honestly don't expect this to get much radio play, it'll be very much an underground album and something the cult-like following of Gang Starr will appreciate. I'd give it a B-
